    <p>The <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> is indexed in the main databases, such as ISI Web of Science, Cumulated Index Medicus - MEDLINE, Pubmed Central, EMBASE, SCOPUS, SCIELO and LILACS, and it has obtained an Impact Factor (IF) of 1.318 from JCR, as well as a B2 rating by the CAPES Qualis System. According to the list recently released by the Journal Citation Reports 2018,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref> 12,271 journals were ranked with a wide IF variability. Of these, 130 journals were in the field of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Sciences, and the <italic>European Heart Journal</italic> leads with 23,425. Around 58% of these publications have IFs below 2.0, among which the <italic>Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia</italic> (<italic>ABC Cardiol</italic>), which has the best IF for journals in the area of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Sciences in Brazil, i.e., 1.318, with a total of 2,541 citations in 2017 (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1">Figure 1</xref>).<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>

    <p>There has been a steady increase in <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic>&#8217;s IF in the last 5 years (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Figure 2A</xref>),<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref> resulting from the editorial policies adopted, among which the following stand out: peer-reviewed scientific contributions; members of the Editorial Board and reviewers selected among the most important researchers in Brazil and abroad; the rapid assessment of works which are accepted according to relevance and originality, scientific accuracy and level of importance for the advancement of science; indexing in the main databases; and bilingual open-access publication at no cost for authors. It is worth noting that self-citation was not focused on, as shown by <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2">Figure 2B</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref> which reinforces that the new impact factor is a solid achievement of our scientific community.</p>

    <p>It should be noted that, for the period from 2010 to 2017, original articles were the ones that stood out most in the journal, followed by review articles, both accounting for most of citations (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f3">Figure 3</xref>). The articles published are divided in 10 areas of knowledge, with 64% of all articles being published in the areas of clinical cardiology, diagnostic methods, basic research and cardiovascular epidemiology (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f4">Figure 4</xref>), mostly from graduate programs in cardiology, medicine and related areas, which account for almost 60% of the original articles published (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f5">Figure 5</xref>). Since 2015, the Brazilian Society of Cardiology has annually held a meeting of graduate cardiovascular science program coordinators to discuss the evaluation conducted by CAPES, prospects for journals in the field and internationalization in order to congregate Brazilian researchers with their main national journal.</p>

    <p>To promote the internationalization of the <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic>, international partnerships were fostered, accounting for 21% of the articles published in 2017, with the U.S., Portugal and Turkey standing out (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f6">Figure 6</xref>). It is also worth highlighting that 20% of the editorial staff is formed by members linked to foreign institutions. In 2017, the journal received 650 articles for evaluation, 171 of which were approved and 472 rejected, i.e., an approval rate of 26%.</p>

    <p>According to the Web of Science Platform,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref> the average citation per article was 3.47, with the number of citations increasing each year. Such visibility growth can be attributed in part to the journal&#8217;s website and to dissemination in social media. Our site was modernized in 2018 to integrate the SBC&#8217;s scientific publications portal,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref> which had 45,000 visits in 2017. The <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> keeps a page on Facebook and Twitter,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref> and in April 2018, it created its Instagram page,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref> where 4 highlight articles from each month&#8217;s issue are monthly released, as well as videos of authors and editors, in addition to journal news and campaigns.</p>
    <p>However, much remains to be done in order to increase both citations and the journal&#8217;s IF. As of June 2018, <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> began to use the ScholarOne manuscript management system,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref> thus accepting preprint articles and collecting the authors' ORCid. We also plan to implement Altimetric statistics in the second half of 2018.</p>
    <p>This result, which we proudly celebrate, is largely due to the joint efforts of the editors-in-chief, area editors, editorial staff, reviewers and collaborators, who have worked so hard in recent years so that this new IF could be disseminated. Special reference and acknowledgement is made to Prof. Luiz Felipe Moreira, who has led the <italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> on this successful editorial line over the last 8 years. Our thanks to the entire &#8220;<italic>ABC Cardiol</italic> family&#8221;, as well as to the SBC board members, who have remained faithful to the mission of the Society, which aims to broaden and disseminate knowledge in cardiovascular science, as well as represent and promote the development of Brazilian cardiologists.</p>

      <p>Houve um consistente incremento do FI do ABC Cardiol nos &#250;ltimos 5 anos (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f8">Figura 2A</xref>),<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref> fruto das pol&#237;ticas editoriais desenvolvidas, dentre as quais podem ser citadas: contribui&#231;&#245;es cient&#237;ficas publicadas revisadas por pares, membros do Conselho Editorial e de Revisores selecionados entre os mais importantes pesquisadores do Brasil e de fora do pa&#237;s, r&#225;pida avalia&#231;&#227;o dos trabalhos que s&#227;o aceitos de acordo com relev&#226;ncia e originalidade, acur&#225;cia cient&#237;fica e n&#237;vel de import&#226;ncia para o avan&#231;o da ci&#234;ncia, indexa&#231;&#227;o nas principais bases de dados e publica&#231;&#227;o <italic>open access</italic> bil&#237;ngue sem custo para os autores.

      <p>H&#225; que se ressaltar que, no per&#237;odo de 2010 a 2017, os artigos originais foram as publica&#231;&#245;es de maior destaque no peri&#243;dico, seguidos pelos artigos de revis&#227;o, ambos respons&#225;veis pelo maior n&#250;mero de cita&#231;&#245;es (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f9">Figura 3</xref>). Os artigos publicados est&#227;o divididos em 10 &#225;reas de conhecimento, com cerca de 64% compostos por artigos das &#225;reas de cardiologia cl&#237;nica, m&#233;todos diagn&#243;sticos, pesquisa b&#225;sica e epidemiologia cardiovascular (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f10">Figura 4</xref>), em sua maioria oriundos dos programas de p&#243;s-gradua&#231;&#227;o, da &#225;rea da cardiologia, medicina e &#225;reas afins, equivalendo a quase 60% dos artigos originais publicados (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f11">Figura 5</xref>). Desde 2015, a Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia realiza anualmente um encontro dos coordenadores de p&#243;s-gradua&#231;&#227;o em ci&#234;ncias cardiovasculares para discuss&#227;o da avalia&#231;&#227;o promovida pela CAPES, rumos dos peri&#243;dicos da &#225;rea e internacionaliza&#231;&#227;o, visando congregar os pesquisadores brasileiros com seu principal peri&#243;dico nacional.</p>

      <p>Visando &#224; internacionaliza&#231;&#227;o do ABC Cardiol, parcerias internacionais foram estimuladas, representando 21% dos artigos publicados em 2017, com destaque para artigos advindos dos EUA, Portugal e Turquia (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="f12">Figura 6</xref>), ressaltando-se, tamb&#233;m, que 20% do corpo editorial s&#227;o compostos por membros com afilia&#231;&#227;o estrangeira. Em 2017, a revista recebeu 650 artigos para avalia&#231;&#227;o, tendo 171 aprovados e 472 rejeitados, resultando em um &#237;ndice de aprova&#231;&#227;o de 26%.</p>

      <p>De acordo com a Plataforma <italic>Web of Science</italic>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref> a m&#233;dia de cita&#231;&#227;o por artigo foi de 3,47, havendo progress&#227;o do n&#250;mero de cita&#231;&#245;es a cada ano. Esse incremento da visibilidade pode ser atribu&#237;do, em parte, ao site do peri&#243;dico e &#224; divulga&#231;&#227;o nas m&#237;dias sociais. Houve moderniza&#231;&#227;o do site, no ano de 2018, vinculando-o ao portal de publica&#231;&#245;es cient&#237;ficas da SBC,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref> que somou cerca de 45000 acessos em 2017. A ABC Cardiol mant&#233;m perfil no Facebook e Twitter,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref><sup>,</sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref> e, em abril de 2018, foi criado tamb&#233;m o perfil no Instagram,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref> onde s&#227;o mensalmente divulgados 4 artigos de destaque da edi&#231;&#227;o, bem como v&#237;deo de autores e editores, al&#233;m de not&#237;cias do peri&#243;dico e campanhas.</p>
      <p>No entanto, muito ainda h&#225; por fazer para que seja poss&#237;vel o aumento tanto das cita&#231;&#245;es como do FI da revista. Em junho de 2018, a ABC Cardiol passou a utilizar o sistema de gest&#227;o de manuscritos ScholarOne,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref> aceitar artigos <italic>preprints</italic> e coletar o ORCid dos autores. Pretende-se, ainda, implantar as estat&#237;sticas Altimetric no segundo semestre de 2018.</p>
      <p>Esse resultado, comemorado com orgulho, deve-se, em grande parte, ao esfor&#231;o conjunto dos editores-chefes, dos editores de &#225;rea, do corpo editorial e de revisores, e do time de colaboradores da revista, que com tanto afinco trabalharam nos &#250;ltimos anos para que esse novo FI fosse divulgado. Refer&#234;ncia e agradecimento especial devem ser feitos ao Prof. Luiz Felipe Moreira, que conduziu o ABC Cardiol nesta linha editorial bem-sucedida nos &#250;ltimos 8 anos. Nosso agradecimento a toda a &#8220;fam&#237;lia ABC Cardiol&#8221;, bem como aos diretores da SBC, que se mantiveram fi&#233;is &#224; miss&#227;o da sociedade, que visa a ampliar e difundir o conhecimento em ci&#234;ncia cardiovascular, al&#233;m de representar e promover o desenvolvimento do cardiologista brasileiro.</p>
